Have you ever received a text with utterly amazing news that began with a sentence that started out with the very first five words translating to keep your mouth shut and your messaging hushed, and you celebrate with and for the Artist and, implicit in your response (in that you don’t whine about the restriction), is your acceptance of the restriction, and, so, about an hour later, they send you a picture of the utterly amazing news, and…
… then it gets really hard?
Yeah, that happened today.
No, I won’t tell you or show you the picture or leave my phone lying about with the screen inadvertently left open or anything like that, but…
…wait for it.
Anyway, Dancing In The Dark has nothing to do with the utterly amazing news, other than seeming appropriately moody to the moment on my end.
But the good news is that I got the first ever good picture of it tonight.
